Getting Started with Therapeutic Listening

 

In comparison to other sound-based interventions, Therapeutic Listening provides both practitioners and families an economical sound based therapy tool to augment the traditional sensory integrative treatment approach.  Many clinics offer Therapeutic Listening rental programs for their clients; therefore, families are often only required to purchase headphones and the music player.

Therapeutic Listening is appropriate to use in a variety of settings, including but not limited to clinic, home, and school.  The design of this tool lends itself to successful collaboration between therapist, caregivers, teachers, and any other individual’s involved in the care of the client.

Once the client, as instructed by their Therapeutic Listening provider, has listened to and explored multiple music selections to determine which provide the maximum benefit, families may then request a customized Micro SD music chip to use as a future boost.  By purchasing an individual library of music, families are able to independently implement Therapeutic Listening during periods of disorganization.
